RAZOR-STRG?.

Application filed December 9, 1908.

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX KnIsoHEn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Razor- Strop, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in the means for securing the yoke which holds the attaching ring to the end of a razor strop.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved means for securing the ringholder to the stro in such a manner as to obviate the use o' a bolt and nut, as in the constructions at present on the market.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which Figure 1 is a view showing a razor strop with one form of the invention applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 in Fig. 1, on a slightly enlarged scale Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 8 3 in Fig. 4 5 Fig. 4 is a fragmentary View of the end of the strop with one form of the anchorage member in position; Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view of the end of the strop, with a modified ferm of anchorage member and attaching member; and Fig. 6 is asectional view, taken on the line 6 6 in Fig. 5.

The strop comprises a main band 1, which may be of leather or any other suitable material. In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the anchorage member comprises plates 3 and 4, which may be of sheet meta and fastened to the main band 1 by means of eyelets or tubular rivets 5. Said plates 3 and 4 may be fastened to said main band in any other suitable manner. A yoke 6 is formed of sheet metal and comprises a central portion 7, and two oppositely-disposed plates 8 and 9. Said plates may be provided at their lower' ends with integral prongs 10 and 11 respectively. Said prongs are bent back substantially parallel to the plates 8 and 9, and are adapted to be received between the opposing faces of the plates 3 and 4 and the main band 1. A ring or attaching member 12 is secured to the Specification oi Letters Patent.

central portion 7 of the yoke in such amanner that it may swivel, as is well known.

rlhe modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6 comprises a main band 1 and an anchorage member 15, which may have opposing plates 16 and 17 which overlie the opposite faces of the main band 1. Said anchorage member 15 may be formed of leather or any other suitable material. If desired, sheet metal may be used for this anchorage member, the same as in the anchorage member shown in the other modification. The lower edges of the plates 16 and 17 may be turned back upon themselves, in order to form a finished and reinforced edge at 18 and 19 respectively. Said anchorage member may be secured to the main band 1 by means of tubular rivets or eyelets 20, or in any other suitable manner.

The yoke 25 com rises a central member 26 and opposing pates 27 and 28. The lower edges of the plates 27 and 28 are vformed with integral prongs 30 and 81 respectively. These prongs are adapted to be bent back substantially parallel to said plates and lie between the overlying portions of the plates 16 and 17 and the opposing faces of the main band 1. In the present instance, three prongs are shown formed on each yoke plate, but obviously the number may be Varied to suit the requirements. An attaching member 35 is secured to the central portion 26 of the yoke 25, and comprises in the present instance two semi-circular members 36 and 37 which are swiveled at 38 about a pin or hollow rivet, as desired. Such pivot extends through the stem 40, which may be headed over against the under side of the central member 26.

From the construction above set forth, it will be seen that in both modiiications,an anchorage member is secured to the main band, and receives the prongs of the yoke between its opposing faces and the opposing faces of the main band of the strop.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A razor strop, comprising a main band, an anchorage member secured to said band, and a yoke having integral prongs thereon arranged to engage said anchorage member.

2. A razor strop, comprising a main band, an anchorage member having ortions overlying the opposing faces of said main band, and a yoke having integral prongs thereon,

arranged to lie between said overlying portions and said main band.

3. A razor strop, comprising a main band7 an anchorage member secured to said main band and having ortions overlying the opposite faces of sai main band, and a yoke overlying said anchorage member and having a plurality of integral prongs :passing Aacross the inner edges of said anchorage member 10 and lying `between the opposing faces of Said l main band and the overlying portions of said anchorage member.

In Witness whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

MAX KRISCHER.
